Twisted Pawn

By: L. J. Shen

Narrated by: Stephen Dexter, Lucy Rivers, Corvin King, Lila Winters

From New York Times bestselling author L.J. Shen comes a dark romance about an assassin mafia heir and the villainess who refuses to become his next victim.

Tierney
There’s a bullet with my name on it. And Achilles Ferrante is the man who’ll pull the trigger.
I’d always known one of us would kill the other. I’d just hoped to do the honor. Twice I betrayed him. First, I broke his heart. Then, I sold him out to the Feds. Even if I hadn’t, I doubt he could spell mercy, much less spare me any. The Camorra prince promised he’d make a spectacle of my death when he caught me. Let him try. He could chase me until the end of Earth. I will always run faster.

Achilles
To love is to destroy, and I’d loved Tierney Callaghan far too long, and far too much. She’s a fatal weakness, but unlike the Greek mythology warrior—I will remain undefeated. My little flame can run fast, but my bullet is faster. Once upon a time, she was the only person who saw my humanity. She’s about to meet the monster everyone else is scared of.

Twisted Pawn is a DARK hunter x hunter standalone. Please check trigger warnings if you have any.

Perfection

Finally got the full store of some of my favorite psychopaths. Books was perfection per usual. Anxious for Enzo’s story. Luca…not so much.

Freaking phenomenal

I love this book so much. achilles the men you are. the character development, the love these 2 shared, the plot , everything about this book was phenomenal. i can't wait for third one.

PERFECT!

I am so in love with this book. I thought, going into it that there was no way that it could be as good as the first book (Bad Bishop) but I was completely and utterly wrong. Good God! I'M OBSESSED.

Love the new characters that give a hint of what’s to come!

Lots of twists and turns, the angst, the longing, the absolute f*^kery that takes place…loved it.

Beautiful Toxic Love !!

Absolutely loved this book! A love like no other ! Hands down better than Bad Bishop I cannot wait for Enzo’s story ! Brilliant writing had me on my toes ! The darkest romance !
